    Hmm, it looks nice. What is it called?

    thanks. it's ASCII graphics. was quite hot before the actual pixel graphics became popular and doable. this was easy to do in text mode. it is a little distorted, should be less horizontally.
    check it out if you like https://files.scene.org/browse/graphics/ascii/secular/ although need to be looking at it with old DOS-like ASCII setup.. there are .com files included as shell to watch pics, but i doubt they'll work on current PCs..

    Good ol ascii art! I do make some banners for servers sometimes and generic little things too. Oh, it's also fun sometimes to use libcaca with your favorite media player

    funny thing, windows distorts these images, but it's easy to check them out on a linux-based VPS for sure!! =)

    Yeah, you won't have competition from me. Though if I'm still close to the top 6 or in it, I might try keeping it but doubtful. At least with the previous years, after the main giveaway drawing, I really slow down on the thread.

    Yeah, I WFH 99% of the time but there's work to be done. I only take extended time away from work for the dog. Now, the 1% where they make me go into the office, I basically spend most of the time not on the laptop. They've been pushing for the hybrid approach with 2 days a week in the office but I've told my manager & director that I'll be happy to do it but on those two days not to expect the same productivity since folks stop by all day and want to talk. So far, they're cool with me staying home expect for the big important meetings (the 1% I actually go in)

    that's why i just do my own thing.. no job, just jobs.. =) no boss. but also no oversight.. so i just build my stuff, spend time honing it and making it work right, and then enjoy for months to come.. i mean, it's still a few hours a day of monitoring, making sure, getting new VPS and setting them up.. but main part of work ended in January this year..

  • Hello, I would like to double my bandwidth.

    Thanks!

  • oh, thanks for reminding.. i actually didn't know about it. but as it happens, luck is not my lady, but i will try.. if it's 35-50 max entries, it's pretty good chance, 1 of 100 roughly.. as opposed here - 1 of many 100s... =)

  • Did anyone spinn this lucky wheel?
    Would just like to know if its worth it.
    However i like the idea that you only can spinn it once :D

    I've only ever won a gleam giveaway one time and I've entered a lot of them over the years. So I kind of do the main entery options and if I have down time and remember, I will get the daily bonus but I won't go out of my way to do it. I actually put more effort/work into just chatting with folks here when I know I'm not going to be in the top 6 at the end :lol:

    Worth it varies based on your luck and how you see it. Though I personally say, it's worth it if you need or want a new service from them, even if all you get is a penny off, it's still better than nothing :)

    why wouldn't it be worth it? it's a way to get extra discount on your purchase. just check out this video - it explains everything you need to know. add products to your cart, then spin the wheel. seems it's only a 1 time thing, so you only get to spin it once no matter how many purchases, thus get it all in 1 basket and spin away to maximize savings.

    True! I'm still hoping for an EU special.
    On the otherhand - i just read good things about RackNerd.

    uh, no matter, it only took a few minutes to get max entries, now that both 11th and 18th of november posts CODES have been revealed... if you did it from the start, were those 2 x 10 entries codes announced in the list originally? or were they surprise additions along the way? i am just curious if maybe another one will pop up on 25th or something..

    The bonus entries are surprises though it seems like raindog308 has been adding the bonus to the giveaway a few days before the post with the code. Previously, it was added the day of the post with it (and one time, the following day).

  • Thanks, i was not aware of this Giveaway!
    Nice prices, and with the codes revealed it took me 30 sek. to collect 30 entries.
    At 5500 entries my chances for one of the 5 prices is around 2,70% :D

    yeah, I treat them as get the base entries and if I have time/remember, get the bonus entries and if not, oh well.
    Worst case: I forget about it
    Best case: I get an email saying I won!

    P.S. I also linked the latest blog entry in my signature. It's the time of the year I'm way more active on LET so I can actually have something time based in my signature.

    Heh, if there were bonus points for looking like the guy in the video, it’d be the first time my face actually paid off.
